What documents do I have to provide for the adoption process?

In Nebraska, there are certain documents you will need to provide when pursuing an adoption. Parents must submit a set of fingerprints for a national background check to the Nebraska State Patrol. A completed Consent to Adopt form signed by the birth parents and witnesses is also required. In addition, the prospective adoptive parents must submit proof of their marriage and provide verification of identity. The court will also require an adoption home study that assesses the child’s home environment, health records, financial information, and interviews with the adoptive parents. A post-placement report must also be completed and submitted within 30 days after placement. This report should include photographs and information about the child’s adjustment and health post-placement. The court will also require a final report that must be completed no later than six months after placement. This report should document the child’s ongoing adjustment to the home. Additionally, the last document that must be provided is the adoption decree from the court, which is the final order of adoption. This document will list the adoptive parents’ names and allow them to legally adopt the child.
